[vox-tech] X fonts too small!

[Jonathan Stickel]

There is a little gui to switch your gtk themes, including fonts, which 
then auto-writes the files Pete mentions below.  For gtk2, it's called 
switch2, and I'm sure there is another for gtk1 (probably switch1 or 
something).  I'm guessing you can apt-get it in Debian.  I like it 
because you can preview the theme before applying it.
